Going in the RF + Peripherals section, under the Command subheading.

Reason for change

Provide clarity on the Gemini is implemented with the Ground System + how to use/connect it

Priority

Medium - Not urgent, but the sooner it is added the better to make the arch. doc as complete as possible for those who need the info

Impact of Not Responding to Change

Ambiguity on how to connect to & use the Gemini, could slow down testing & make it harder when transferring projects over/assigning new testers.
